Deetjens Big Sur Elopement Photography
Deetjens will always be my absolute favorite place to photograph eloping couples. The history, roaming cats, old leaded windows, unique styling, and natural light make it such a fun place to start a wedding day. I loved that J +K also appreciated Deetjens and had stayed there before! They even allowed a little time in their day for some romantic cuddles before getting ready. I loved how J wore K’s big oversized button-down as they copied their vows in their books. They booked several rooms together for their family to get ready with them so we had several options and lots of light. We stopped at the redwoods on the way to their ceremony on the coast, where their friends met up with us for the most windy and beautiful ceremony where her best friend and now husband dueled post-ceremony. J and k got the cutest customized cake toppers of their cats for their cake to include them in the day. Everyone celebrated with cake and champagne. We ended the night at the beach overlooks as the sunset it was absolutely beautiful !!
All my favorite vendors were there:
MUAH : MALINA TERRA HAIR AND MAKEUP
FLORALS: WILI WILD FLOWER
Some love stories are best celebrated surrounded by the people who matter most, with the beauty of California's coastline serving as the perfect backdrop. Hannah and James' wedding was exactly that—a heartfelt celebration filled with breathtaking views, meaningful moments, and unforgettable memories. Their day began with an intimate ceremony at Wedding Rock, where they exchanged vows in front of their closest family. Perched above the rugged coastline, Wedding Rock offered sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, creating a setting that felt both peaceful and awe-inspiring.
